Kick Your Caffeine Habit With Better-for-You Coffee Alternatives

Whether you're looking to lower your caffeine intake for health reasons or ditch your daily drip coffee for something a bit more exciting, it's a great time to explore other coffee alternatives. From matcha tea to mushroom elixirs to clean and organic energy drinks, these coffee alternatives all provide a boost of natural energy — plus a healthy serving of powerful superfoods — to provide the sustained energy your body needs. Here are 10 better-for-you coffee alternatives to swap out that java.

Loaded with powerful antioxidants, matcha is one of the healthiest coffee alternatives out there. We love this new natural matcha energy drink from MatchaBar, which is made from a blend of ceremonial-grade matcha and natural energy from L-Theanine. Lightly carbonated with a lemon-lime twist, this refreshing coffee alternative will quickly replace your post-lunch iced java. And remember: Good things come to those who hustle!

If you love the taste of earthy and sweet yerba maté but prefer to sip your tea chilled, these super convenient cans from Guayakí will be your new favorite coffee alternative. This canned yerba maté comes in a variety of different flavors, but we think the mint variety is the most refreshing for a tasty afternoon pick-me-up.

Another healthy coffee alternative with a cleaned-up ingredient list, RUNA Clean Energy Drink gets its natural energy source from the guayusa leaf, which is naturally caffeinated for sustained energy without a crash. If you're looking for energy from a plant versus a lab, try RUNA Lime on for size.

If you're trading out your afternoon coffee for green tea but looking for something a bit more interesting and flavorful to brew, check out this Supreme Matcha Green Tea from Pukka Herbs. A balanced blend of antioxidant-loaded organic whole leaf green tea and matcha, this super green tea is designed to help cleanse, balance, and restore your body. Sip this hot or over ice — you'll feel an instant sense of balanced, calm energy.

Swap your traditional latte for a turmeric-packed golden milk latte instead. Another delicious and ready-to-drink coffee alternative that's slightly more filling, this organic Golden Milk from REBBL is made with whole turmeric, ginger, coconut milk, and a touch of forest honey. This creamy and satisfying herb-powered coconut milk elixir is packed with 6 grams of fiber, essential vitamins and minerals, and a healthy dose of superfood turmeric.

Another naturally energizing sparkling water that contains 75mg of green-tea derived caffeine per serving, Phocus is another solid coffee alternative. With zero calories, zero sugars, and zero sweeteners, this caffeinated sparkling water is a refreshing sip to beat the afternoon slump.

If you can't totally quit coffee, then add some nutrition to your cup of joe. By now, you've likely heard the buzz surrounding the keto-diet craze and butter-coffee trend. Adding superfood MCT oil and grass-fed butter to coffee can help boost brain functionality and suppress hunger for steady, lasting energy. A pioneer in the fat-for-fuel movement, Bulletproof Coffee is the brand you should check out if you're into learning more about this traditional coffee alternative.

Another idea for a healthy (and trendy!) addition to coffee is to add some superfood mushrooms to your brew. Hear us out! Lion's Mane is a nontoxic culinary and medicinal mushroom variety that has long been studied for its impact on stimulating nerve growth and optimizing brain and nervous system function, and chaga mushrooms are loaded with powerful antioxidants. Made from a blend of both types of these mushrooms, this Mushroom Coffee Mix from Four Sigmatic helps naturally boost cognitive performance.

Add a serving of this fragrant brew to 8 ounces of hot water for a potent coffee alternative (without a strong mushroomy taste).
